Title: Apparatus for games

Abstract: An apparatus for use in playing a game includes a game board comprising first and second arrays of points. Both arrays are two-dimensional. The first array includes n points in a first direction and (n + 1) points in a second direction, respectively, where n is an integer. The second array includes (n + 1) points in the first direction and n points in the second direction. The two arrays are arranged interjacent one another, and the points of the first array are distinguishable from the points of the second array. The apparatus further includes a plurality of game playing pieces, each of which has two pairs of points defining a quadrilateral array. The points of each pair are located generally across the quadrilateral array from one another. Each piece further includes first and second direction indicators. The first direction indicator indicates a direction between the points of the first pair and the second direction indicator indicates a direction between the points of the second pair. The first direction indicator is identifiable with the points of the first array on the game board. The second direction indicator is identifiable with the points of the second array on the game board.
